The Strange Peculiar Bizarre Town The Twins Arc Part One

Double Gaze

It had only been hardly a week after defeating the magician when she had noticed that the twins Dorothy and Victoria had been following her. She had noticed them after walking back from school they had tailed her for the entire time that she walked home. She then had even spotted that they even followed her to school and from school. It was strange but she just tried to ignore it after all she knew that she did not need another event that would lead her somewhere that she did not want to go to.

Then after a week of noticing this she noticed that they walked up to her as she walked home.

“Hello. My name is Victoria Matilda and this is my other side Dorothy Victoria.” she said as she extended her hand, her voice think with a posh and old British accent. “I hope that we can be good friends.”

She looked at the hand and took it. She knew that the smart thing was no to fall into the trap as she knew that it would lead to her to places that she knew that she did not want to go. She also could not shake the overwhelming fear of the two. She also knew that she should have nothing to do with the two and she should try to avoid any and all contact with them. In fact she could feel everything telling her to run from the two and hope that they would never find her.

Then to her surprise, her hand moved to her hand and she shook it.

“Yeah, sure.” she said.

Both of them smiled such a happy and almost relieved smile.

“Great! Thank you! I know that we're going to be very close.” they said.

She then put on a brave smile on her face. She had always been good at putting a brave smile on when she was in America. It was one of her ways of concealing her loneliness that she had sometimes felt whenever she saw that her classmates playing with their friends, then this would lead to her to realise that she did not have any. She tried once but she was rejected from all of the circles even the ones that were for the rejects.

“I hope so too.” she said, even-though it was coming from a genuine part of her she knew that this would never be the case with them.

“Tell me, did you have any friends in America?” she asked.

Her smile was wiped off her face and she looked away, trying not to look too hurt.

“No. No I didn't. In fact even-though I never told my parents I was always the one that never quite did.” she said.

They then placed a hand on her shoulders.

“Then would I be your first?”

“Yeah...I guess so.” she said as she felt strangely weak and tired as she walked on.

“Are you alright?” Dorothy asked.

“Yeah..Just suddenly started to feel tired.” she said. “That's all.”

“Then why don't you go home and get some sleep? We'll play tomorrow.” Dorothy said.

“Alright. See you tomorrow.” she said as she walked home.

She soon fell asleep the moment that her head hit the pillows. She found herself walking down a dark street and she was alone. She knew that it was some part of the town but not a place that she had been before. She could feel that she was wearing a skirt and she could dee strands of brunette hit her left eye.

She jumped as suddenly the twins came into view, almost as if they had teleported there.

“Oh!” she sad as she felt her put a hand on her chest. “I am dearly sorry. I didn't see you there children.”

“I know. I like your ring. It will look better on my friend.” she said.

She looked at a pail hand and on it was a silver ring and a violate gem.

“Oh, it would, well you must be very good friends. Tell me where are your parents?” she asked.

“Oh they have been dead for a long time.” they said at the same time. “Tell me, can you give me that ring?”

She then felt herself let out a laugh.

“Sorry I can't. It's my engagement ring.” she said.

“Shame.” they said as they pulled out a knife and she woke up feeling bruising in her heart.

She tried to scream but she could not, nor could she move. She was completely paralysed! She tried to move but she could not. It was like her body just was not responding to her brain's orders. She was like a prisoner in her own body. All she could do was stare at the ceiling as she felt helpless in anything else.

She soon heard the window open. She hoped that in her heart of hearts that it was not Dante. She just could not deal with him at the moment after the nightmare that she had just had.

“It is alright.” said the voice of one of the twins “I just came here to give you something.”

She suddenly felt one of the hands of the twins pick her hand and forced a ring on her finger.

“Close your eyes now!” sang the other. “See you tomorrow. And if you are wondering friends always know where they live.”

She then closed her eyes and the following day she woke up and saw a silver ring on her finger with a violate gem in the centre.
